Was I just, the Fascist militarily controlled union of nations: Westhurst, invited to a visit far before anyone else? These Valkyarians certainly don't discriminate. Well, I will gladly send someone to investigate and he certainly won't be impressed, I assure you. Can I be nice and bring a pair of guards?
And maybe, like you say, if the initial visit bears fruit, it could progress into some sort of an alliance. But if that were the case, the construction of untold amounts of railways to connect with Westhursts railway network would have to be done.
But I do like your idea as well. We could share national doctrines and ideas during regular military exercises, etc.
